Adele (Page 12 of 14)

Rumor has it; she will be a resident entertainer for a few years in Vegas. My guess is she will replace Garth Brooks at the Winn.

Take care,
Bill

Adele - 21 - I Found A Boy (2011)

I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true!
I fall short each time,
Every time he ain't here,
You and your charm creep closer in here,
Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all!
Like a bomb before explosion,
Ticking by your call.
You're the wiser one, disguised from greed,
And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.

But I found a boy who I love more,
Than I ever did you before,
So stand beside the river I cried,
And let yourself down!
Look how you want me now that I don't need you!
So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees
At the first sight of you, crawling back to me
To whisper 'will you leave your man?'
Cause you sweared that this time you can stand by me. I won't stand by you!

Cause I found a boy who I love more,
Than I ever did you before,
So stand beside the river I cried
And let yourself down!
Look how you want me now that I don't need you!
I ain't yours for no taking,
You must be mistaken
I could never look in your eyes, and settle for wrong
And ignore the right

Well I found a boy who loves me more,
Than you ever did before.
So stand beside the river you'll cry
And let yourself down!
Look how you want me now that I don't need you!

She should stick to poetry.  The lyrics read great.  She sings good.  On the song you linked, the guitar has to go! Yuck.  Bad mix between the 3-lyrics, singing (yes, nice), and guitarist (whomever it is! )  Poetry part of the modern woman sticking it to men in the real world the way men stick it to men, women, & children-she's got it perfect!  Stick with it, even if it takes you bitter babe.  Hope not.  But, I think bitter can turn into Better, anyway, eventually. 

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

I've never really understood the Adele hysteria. Ok so maybe 'hysteria' is not the right word, but I don't get it. Yes, she's got a good voice and all, but I have a hard time grasping the reason for her meteoric rise and buh-zillion album sales. Is there an endearing human interest story to go along with Adele's music? Was it a matter of timing, where there was a gap in the music industry that Adele uniquely filled?

Before you all light me up here, I'm not bashing her or her music. I find her stuff pleasant enough when I'm on the mood for it, but I'm just not captivated. And I love female vocalists...in fact I tend to prefer them.   

Anyone?

Yeah. Her music doesn't float my boat but as has been said, her voice is ok and she's attractive.  I'd chalk the sales up to the female tweeners who drive that market. Good for her. That market will never come the way of classic rock and blues anyway.

Stu ~ this is the same feeling I have about Taylor Swift, I'm not captivated at all, but maybe its more that I'm not a big country fan.

I really like Adele; I started listening with the 21 CD. It is mysterious sometimes why some artists really catch on, like Adele.  Adele is a HUGE talent...just stop and think about artists that have become extremely popular and they aren't even talented! (big business) Timing sometimes works for an artist - was Adele the best thing to hit since Amy Winehouse?

Besides Adele's talent, I think some of her atypical qualities & unique personality have helped propel her popularity...she's raw, honest, sassy, and not skinny...she's more human because she's not perfect. I don't think Adele would let anyone force her to loose weight, stop drinking or smoking unless she wanted to do it for herself.  You go girl!

With that said, it will be interesting to see how the rest of her career unfolds. Is it possible that she wrote her best material because of her emotional state of being dumped by her ex beau? I remember reading a fan comment about Clapton one time, the man wrote his best stuff when his love life was a mess or he was expressing some serious pain & sorrow. Being happy doesn't always = great songwriting.

With Adele's vocals & youth on her side, her possibilities are endless, segueing towards soul/ blues is an exciting thought nmagcorn!
